I’ll take your word for it.
Sorry, between my own issues and the way the world is right now, it’s easy for me to give in to cynicism.

The top brass and officers are mostly where the lefties in rhe military end up. But their numbers are small in comparison to the rest of the military, and those guys as a voting bloc go republican. The military is a pretty solid R voting base.
For a multitude of reasons.
- They literally have no steak in politics outside their military base on a state level for the troops. Literally, the only local issue that would require representation for taxation is sales tax.
- At least 99.9% of Military personal return to their home state to be with their family and a familiar setting where they might have land or job opportunities, so keeping up with Politic on that end is much more important than voting in some state who's only attachment to you is your own two feet happen to thread there and a single tax issue.

It could be for years, but it could also be for only weeks and that would mean a mountain of paperwork constantly changing tens of thousands of soldier's residencies weekly as they get transferred. That's beyond having to figure out the de facto state for a sailor at the bottom of the Atlantic in a submarine, or assigned to Guam. Does a soldier lose the right to vote because of such a transfer? Might that be abused by someone deciding to pare down a voting bloc by sending a lot of people with an opposing political opinion to serve on foreign soil?
Leaving it at de jure is much less of a headache, and avoids heaps of issues de facto creates.
The amount of tiktoks full of groomers in uniform talking about how they'd happily shoot up Maga people if ordered to? And the purges going on?
I'm pretty sure our armed forces are loyal to the GAE not the US.
Pride does come before the fall doesn't it.
Using Social Media as a point of reference for anything in general is a silly idea.
First it's controlled by the left even moreso with TikTok because it's a Chinese Front Organization.
Second not everyone gives a sh*t about social media platforms much or is a part of them and those that are aren't always open with their politics for fear of persecution or retaliation. (A wise policy in this day and age.)
Third if the results of every poll and general drift of politics of social media genuinely was accurate we would be in a 1982 world by now.

I fear that over time, the military will go from a traditional bastion of conservatism, to more moderate on average, to eventually overwhelmingly left wing. Of course, I can’t be sure or the future, but if I had to guess, I would say that in 20 years the US military will be as strongly associated with being left wing as it was associated with being right wing in the 90’s and 0’s.
Regardless, they still need to be able to vote.

Uh..
The military has almost always been moderate.
@Sailor.X he is a moderate and served awhile ago.

One guy, quite a sample size you have there.
In 2009 Gallup conducted a survey of about 138,000 people to learn about veteran (which includes active military) status and political affiliation.
You can follow the link for more information, but here are some interesting graphs:
Notice the largest differences are for the younger veterans, in 2009 this would include, as I mentioned earlier, people in the military in the 90’s and 0’s. Contrasted with older veterans, who may have been drafted to go to war and are more likely moderate.
Contrast this with 2020 where Republicans still have an edge but less of one:

Albeit, this poll had different methodologies.
Of course, what kind of people is this commercial going to attract?
Or purging people who won’t get vaccinated?

A total creep
It is trying to attract deviants and messed ups
Normies will enlist regardless.
This video says more about the Pentagon than recruits, IMO.
The military is actually having huge recruitment issues right now, probably because of them trying to wokify it. They're scaring away a large portion of the people who would normally join.It is trying to attract deviants and messed ups
Normies will enlist regardless.

Military ballots shouldn't factor on the issue of mail in because they should be a separated vote from civilians if they are on bases and/or outside the USA.
It all vomes back to the fact voter ID doesn't exist on a federal level which let's votes be printed at will. If there was a voter I.D. mail in could work in a safe way.

Of course the video says something about the Pentagon. But it’s crazy to think that a far left agenda from the Pentagon isn’t going to have an influence on everyone beneath them. It’s also crazy to think that a far left agenda for the Pentagon isn’t going to dissuade right leaning people from joining.It is trying to attract deviants and messed ups

The military is going to become more left leaning over time. Not coincidentally, the quality of recruits is going to go down over time too.
Trump attended UFC 290 and received an almost deafeningly positive reception.

He shook hands with Dana White, the CEO of the UFC as well as met with Mel Gibson. But worst of all... he shook hands and briefly talked with GUY FIERI, the Mayor of Flavortown. For those that don't known, Guy Fieri is basically a television chef and food personality.
Seeing the ree'ing on Social Media of how much loathing people have for Guy Fieri now is glorious... and a little disturbing. Keep in mind, Guy Fieri is basically a bog standard Entertainment business liberal. The only political opinion I know he has is his rather strong support for Gay Marriage and supporting Bernie Sanders IIRC. He's done a lot of charity and humanitarian/philanthropy work as well especially for workers in the food industry. I'm sure he just shook hands with Donald Trump just to shake hands with Donald Trump and meet him.
We'll see if he's cancelled or forced to grovel an apology in the future. Hopefully he weathers the fake social media outrage and everything will be
.
I mean if I was Guy Fieri I wouldn't shake hands with Donald Trump, but that's only because Trump reportedly eats his steaks well done and with ketchup. And no... it's not sous vide well done either you Cuckservatives.
Sorry... I digress... But yeah. That all happened.

Apparently not enough people, Honestly whoever's idea that was is a retard that should be fired. The demographic that is meant to appeal to are not soldier material in the first place but lazy basement dweller types.
